Wafflemat is the leading foundation system for single and multi-family residential and light commercial structures built on expansive, rocky, compressible, or liquefiable soils. Wafflemat has been used in over 25,000,000 sf of foundations across the USA since its introduction in 1993. Wafflemat not only delivers superior performance when compared to other foundation systems, it also delivers significant cost savings by reducing soils prep, concrete, reinforcing steel, and building cycle time.

WAFFLEMAT APPLICATIONS

SINGLE FAMILY

Wafflemat has been used as the foundation for thousands and thousands of single family homes across the USA since 1993 — all without one structural failure. That’s an unparalleled track record in the construction industry for almost three decades.

MULTI-FAMILY

Significant reductions in soils prep, concrete, and steel mean not only significant hard dollar cost savings, but as the most proven foundation system in its class, Wafflemat also reduces the ‘worry factor’ after the project is completed — something every developer likes.

LIGHT COMMERCIAL

Wafflemat cuts building cycletime in half when compared to in-ground ribbed or spread footing foundations. That translates into not only a lot of hard dollar cost savings, but also keeps projects (and things like tenant move-ins), on time.

WALKWAYS / PARKING

Use of Wafflemat in walkways and parking lots mitigates use of very expensive and often hard to place select fill. Combined with high-strength helix steel fibers in the concrete, Wafflemat delivers an easy to install, very strong, cost-effective solution. And, who wouldn’t rather have a concrete parking lot vs. a high maintenance one made of asphalt?

WAFFLEMAT VS IN-GROUND RIBS

With no trenching, off-haul, concrete overage and about a week less building cycle time, Wafflemat not only delivers significant hard dollar cost savings compared to in-ground rib foundations, it also provides proven advantages in engineering performance.
